This open studio will focus on exploring the multiple ways through which we can understand the entanglement of repair and maintenance with visionary aspirations around smart hospitals. By revisiting earlier and contemporary Feminist STS texts, new materialism, phenomenology and leaning on insights from the field, Amina will share insights emerging from her ongoing PhD research. Presenting Morocco as a case study, this talk shall explore further the dimensions that waiting takes in environments that run through foreign software in local hospitals.
